GeekMom Book Club: Let’s Pretend This Never Happened – Week 4

This is our last week of our book club discussion of Let’s Pretend This Never Happened (A Mostly True Memoir) by Jenny Lawson (AKA The Bloggess). We will be taking break in July and then in August the book club will return with a new format. In August, I will be leading the discussion of A Wrinkle In Time by Madeleine L'Engle. In September, GeekMom Ariane will be leading the discussion of Ready Player One by Ernest Cline.

But to finish up our discussion of Let's Pretend This Never Happened, I pose the following questions:

When Jenny find out that she has a rare form of rheumatoid arthritis, she starts seeking out alternative medicines to help her with the pain. What do you think about alternative medicine and Jenny's description of going to get acupuncture? At what level of pain do you think you would consider alternatives to traditional medicine?
